CARAMEL APPLES
H
ow to make
Dip apples in boiling water for 5 seconds to remove the wax. Apples naturally have a waxy coating, so do this even for farmers market apples.
1. Remove wax
Boil heavy cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt until it reaches 245°F. Don't stir, or it might turn grainy.
2. Make caramel
Cool caramel to 200°F in a glass measuring cup. Dip apples, scraping caramel off the bottom so it doesn't puddle.
3. Cool caramel & dip apples
